Amateur career

As a senior, he went 6–1 with a 2.60 ERA with fifty strikeouts in 43 innings, earning himself a spot on the Denver Post All-Colorado team.[1][2] After his senior year, he was drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 20th round of the 2014 MLB draft.[3] He signed with Miami, forgoing his commitment to play college baseball at the University of Nebraska Omaha.[4]

Miami Marlins

After signing, Holloway made his professional debut with the Gulf Coast League Marlins where he pitched to a 1–3 record with a 6.41 ERA in ten games (six starts). In 2015, he began the year with the Greensboro Grasshoppers before being reassigned to the Batavia Muckdogs, with whom he was named a New York-Penn League All-Star.[5] In 14 starts for Batavia, he went 5–6 with a 2.91 ERA. He spent 2016 with both Greensboro and Batavia, compiling a combined 2–7 record and 6.19 ERA over 13 starts between the two teams, and in 2017, he pitched for Greensboro where he went 1–2 with a 5.22 ERA in 11 starts,[6] In 2018, he pitched only 7+2⁄3 innings due to injury.[7]

The Marlins added him to their 40-man roster after the 2018 season.[8] He spent 2019 with the Jupiter Hammerheads[9] and earned Florida State League All-Star honors.[10] Over 21 starts, he went 4–11 with a 4.45 ERA, striking out 93 over 95 innings.

Holloway made the Opening Day roster in 2020, and made his major league debut on July 26 against the Philadelphia Phillies, and pitched a scoreless 1/3 inning. His rookie campaign consisted of his only appearance. In 2021, Holloway appeared in 13 games for Miami, logging a 2-3 record and 4.00 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 36.0 innings pitched.

Holloway was placed on the 60-day injured list on August 1,[11] and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow on August 9, ending his season.[12] On November 8, Holloway was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to Triple-A.[13] He elected free agency following the season on November 10.[14]
